ReadyNAS 4220 NFS configuration
I'm trying to use some NFS shares for a virtual machine environment. It requires the following configuration: Change the ownership of the export directory, replacing directory_name with the name...
Which hypervisor and version are you using?
Are you wanting to use the NAS as a datastore over NFS for the VMs or as a network share over NFS for putting ordinary files on?
Which firmware are you running on the NAS?
It should be completely unnecessary to use the shell to get it working and using the shell to do so isn't supported.
Welcome to the community!
We are running 6.6.0 Firmware on the NAS
We want to use the NFS mount as a datastore over NFS as opposed to using ISCSI so we have the ability to snapshot the datastore and rsync the snapshots to a remote site as well as replicate the datastore to a local backup NAS.
We are using Ovirt (Open Virtualization manager version 3.5.3.1-1.el6
The manager requires the following options to be set: anonuid=36, anongid=36 and all_squash
We are aware that command line editing is not supported but there does not seem to be a way to set the above through the graphic interface (specifically the anonuid and anongid) and Ovirt doesn't seem to have any flexibility regarding these settings.
For testing purposes we did manually edit the exports file with the required settings and were able to successfully connect the VM Manager to the datastore via NFS. We are also able to connect using ISCSI but that severely limits the backup options available to us.
